A couple work arounds
by Reed, Nyama 15 Mar '20

15 Mar '20

Hello Everyone, Here are a couple work-arounds we're putting out there for patrons. Check your ILL and see if patrons can reset a pin or get a new e-card via online. That will help them use digital resources while you are closed. Also, I plan to leave our wifi on and promote than patrons can sit at the picnic table outside (it's at least in the 50s right now) or in their car at the curbside and use it with their own device. While that only helps those with their own device, I'm hoping it's "better than nothing." ----------------------------------------- Hello Everyone. Here is a post from the Milwaukee County Library System office regarding COVID-19 and digital resources available to you from the comfort of your home regardless of which MKE Co community you live in. http://www.mcfls.org/news-details.asp?ID=269 You just need an active library card and know you pin. Go here is you need to: https://bit.ly/3aTz2mo 1. Reset your pin 2. Pay a fine over $5.01 to unblock your card (fyi, I am working with the system to increase the block level to $1000, so anyone with fines can still use digital resources during this time). 3. To apply for a brand new e-card, if you don't have one or you have an expired one. (since we can't renew traditional cards during this time, this is viable work around) The "new" e-card is only good for 30 days. Have a wonderful day, Nyama Nyama Y.

More virtual planning ideas
by Jessica Holman 15 Mar '20

15 Mar '20

Good morning, With the uncertainty of the days ahead, might I recommend seeing if your scheduled performers, authors, and other speakers can offer their programs virtually? I have a local musician scheduled for April 6, and when I spoke with him about it, he was very willing to offer his performance to my patrons via live stream if necessary. Many of these people rely on bookings to make ends meet. If you have musicians, performers, and others who you've booked or have considered hosting, maybe reach out to them and see if they can adapt for a virtual event. -- Jessica Holman Library Director Negaunee Public Library 319 West Case Street Negaunee, MI 49866 (906) 475-7700 ext. 18
